As you guys may know, I've been OCing my CPU for the last few days and have gotten some very good results, such as being able to boot Windows/Linux at 2.8 GHz on the stock voltage. However, I noticed a very strange problem yesterday.
I had the HTT set to 240 from Sunday until Monday, and this results in a 2.65 GHz speed on the stock voltages. It was also 12+ hours prime stable in the blend test. However, when I looked at CPU-z today I noticed that the HTT reading was 241. Confused, I went back to tweaking and rebooted windows with a 250 HTT in the BIOS, keeping the stock VCore. Memtest passed for nearly 2 hours at this speed(after which I stopped the test), and Linux/Windows booted without a hitch. But once inside Windows my HTT reading in CPU-Z/RMClock was still 241 instead of the 250 that I had set in the BIOS. After shutting off the computer, I double-checked in the BIOS to make sure that I had set the HTT to 250 and SAVED the settings, and it turned out that indeed I had done so. So why is this mismatch occuring, and what speed is my CPU really running at?
